And if his name seems familiar, it should be to anyone listening to this show or checking out Multiversity Comics on a regular basis: Segura is not only the "PR guy" for Archie Comics, he also edits their Dark Circle line of titles as well as writing a few from time to time. But today's interview focuses on those mystery novels, the third of which ("Dangerous Ends") hit bookstores earlier this week. Greg finds out how Alex handles having to hit certain genre expectations while still finding something personal to say in his work, the benefits of writing more than one book at a time, some advice for how to promote your work without turning people off, and just what "Noir at the Bar" entails. All that and more on this week's episode!

First up, the creative team of the upcoming Image OGN "Afar": artist Kit Seaton and writer Leila del Duca. If one of those names sounds familiar, it's because del Duca is also the artist on "Shutter" with writer Joe Keatinge and is making her writing debut with this book. Seaton is the lower-profile of the two right now, but once fans get a look at "Afar", the SCAD professor will be a name one everyone's mind. Greg talked to the duo about their science-fiction story, the difficulties in maintaining the balance between strange and relate-able, influences, work processes, and just what to do when someone jimmies the lock on your bedroom door with a steak knife in the middle of the night.

Following that is a chat with comics-multihyphenate Christina Blanch. Between her work as a retailer (Aw Yeah Muncie), writer ("The Damnation of Charlie Wormwood"), educator (Super MOOC), and panel moderator, Blanch has spent a life firmly and unapologetically rooted in pop culture. Like her interests, the conversation covers a lot of ground, including what it's like being a retailer in today's comics market, the differences between stocking an LCS and setting a syllabus, the connection between Dr. Indiana Jones and Dr. Christina Blanch, surviving 2016, and what we can already do to make 2017 better.

With such a long stretch of work behind him, we figured now would be the perfect time to invite him back on the show for a look back at how we got here. This is a conversation in two parts, with this episode focusing on John's work outside of the Mignolaverse. From "Doom Partol" to "Major Bummer" and "A God Somewhere," John's written an incredible amount of comics and has worked at just about every major publisher. We even get into his non-writing comics work as an editor and archivist, as well as his earliest published works.

If you missed John the last time he was on, you can catch that one right here. And don't forget to come back next week for part 2 of the conversation when we devote the entire episode to John's "B.P.R.D." conclusion!

All that, plus the best place to go for unsettling sweetness, what project (probably) got Brian Michael Bendis back to the art table to write & draw something new, how Eric Powell makes the second helping of “Chimichanga” even better, Shin Godzilla and the comics circle of life, and just who convinced Disney that sending Mickey Mouse to Hell was a great idea. So a little something for everyone in part the first of our two-part “Previews” episode!

So while Aydin, artist Nate Powell, and co-writer/subject Congressman John Lewis make one last trip around the talk show/media circuit in promotion and praise for their award-winning efforts, sit back and listen to Greg chatting with the first-time comics author at the very start of that journey.

Matthew's kicking off a new four-issue series of his self-published series "Cankor," so we certainly wanted to have the man himself swing by to talk about it. There are some new elements to the new issue that really caught Mike's attention: one anyone can see, and another that you'll need to get a little navel-gazey for. There's plenty of "Cankor" discussion as well as some gereral comics talk and a bit of shared love for the Artists' Edition format.

But with Mike unavailable, Greg turned to friend of the show Paul Lai (from the excellent podcast The Paul List) to come on and give the episode his specific brand of considered and researched opinion. The duo focus on the Maid of Steel's origins and the era in which she sprung from the Kryptonian rocket ship, but the conversation manages to touch on other parts of her career, from Crisis to DC Rebirth, and appearances in other media as well. All that and more awaits you in this week's episode!

This transition is no different for artists, but for those living in the Baltimore area, a new alternative to the traditional art education institutions is emerging. Greg had a chance to chat with Baltimore Academy of Illustration instructor Greg Houston about his school's mission to bring high-quality illustration instruction to a student body that may not be best served by the traditional structure (or tuition requirements) of a 3- or 4-year institution.

Along with artist Nick Dyer, Emma is working on the latest installment of "Anderson, Psi-Division," Which is her second crack at one of the magazine's highest profile characters. How exactly did she come to write Anderson? What are the tricks to dialoguing a conversation between psychics? Emma gets into all of that, as well as some of her other works like "Survival Geeks" and "The Alienist."

Programming note: we'll finish up our dive into the Previews catalog next week. We'll also probably spend more time talking about Marvel than we usually do.
